Japanese

Stumbled upon this tight little alley of a restaurant, looking for dinner with my little preschooler on our yay-it's-the-weekend Friday night dinner date.

The tempura was amazing! Light. Wasn't dripping with grease. Could taste the freshness of the vegetables. So crispy. So veggie-y. I'm gonna say it... It was the best tempura I've ever had. I'm probably not eating tempura again any time soon (eat healthy, my friends), but if I have to, I'm coming back here.

Totally exceeded the expectations of a mother who merely needed a quick meal time solution that is a happy intersection between a treat and getting those vegetables into the system. Perfect!!!

Servers were super attentive. Big smiles all around. Brought us an extra chair for our bags, despite scarce real estate in the restaurant.

The best soba experience in Akihabara! Elegant and cozy. Super attentive staff taught us something new about appreciating soba! Choice of tatami or chair seating. We went for tatami for kicks and it turnes out to be perfect for a great dining experience for our family with a 2yr old. Yay!
